Matt Thompson was instrumental in his team's 5-3 triumph over the Oakland Athletics. The first baseman went 3-5 with a triple and 2 doubles, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once for the Houston Astros. Houston is now riding a 3-game win streak.

Joe Gardner was the walk-off hero for Houston. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Astros center fielder hit a dramatic 2-run home run to send the teams home.

"The house was rockin'," said Gardner.
